Anybody else had straw discoloration where the straw meets the cup? Not visible if you dont remove the straw from the cup.

yes, but as mold. I had to remove the straw completely, wash, and sanitize.

We take the straws out every time they are washed and haven't noticed any discoloration.

yes ours turned yellow on all 2 cups, then we had the mold issue, it was just super nasty. i threw away the straws thinking i can just go online and buy replacement straws and guess what? nada. :(

Yes... just try again. I've done that a couple of times but I usually didn't push the insert up into the top good enough. (I love these cups! Just order replacement parts for them because I had the soft spout for my youngest and now moving to the hard spout. My oldest uses the straw top now. Awesome!)

It's like a tag outside the cup. The temperature makes it change color, but once it changed, it wouldn't change back immediately as youn pour out the water because the cup is still hot. It will change back unless the cup is cooled.

A family I know said that the first times they used the straws the water tasted chemical but that it's pretty much gone now. I don't know how long they've been using them for. I know they got these personal straws last year.

I have the same issue. I use one cup more than the other 3 and after one month of usage the metal handle popped off. I tried to put it back but it would not stay on. I'm trying to contact the seller but I don't know how to?

Lana A., I've had this heater installed for 1 1/2 years and I've seen no discoloration of the cover...What could be making a change in color could be smoking by someone near to the unit as the nicotine from the smoke can discolor the plastic..Otherthan that perhaps a chemical you're using in the bath? A disinfectant for something else...Again, I've had no perceptible changein the color of the plastic cover....Hope this helps.P. Brennan

Angela, When I replaced mine with the filter here, there was no discoloration that I noticed. Maybe the filter's reaction to the water quality you added, but I'm unsure.

I have not had that problem..the only problem I have had is soda fizz leaking out the little air ventunder the straw.....resolved that by adding ice first._

Mine hasn't discolored and the UV coating on the case is supposed to prevent that from happening as advertised. I'm pretty happy with my case that I bought an extra one. Hope that helps!

I put mine in the dishwasher all the time and mine has never discolored. I would contact the manufacturer.

I've ordered three of these cups. Oddly, two came with straws and one did not. Go figure. The two that I ordered in the Fresh Arctic color had turquoise silicone straws. The Smoke color had no straw. On a side note you can order a set of the straws that fit the cups.

Is it leaking the 'air' at the point where the aluminum bottom threads into the black top? If so, I would (which you may have already tried) try to make sure that the inner "straw/stem" piece is seated/centered properly and the top is as snug (without breaking it, obviously) as you can get it. I've had the situation - where mine also leaked as it was pressurized and I had to take the top back off and re-seat the stem piece. Now that I'm more careful to make sure it's seated right, I haven't had any more trouble (and I use it all the time). Also, make sure there is no debris that may be keeping the seal from seating properly. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Sorry to hear about that, R. But it could be okay still. My pot has discolored also, and has what looks like bubbles in the finish on the inside bottom. It hasn't effected performance or taste. I would just clean it out good and try it...I'm sure you have by now. Let us know how it went.

My husband once put hot tea in a funtainer for me when I was sick. The straw forever stained and there was a hint of tea in the rest of my drinks. Tried to soak it and get it out but nothing I did worked. I wouldn't recommend it.

I did not have the same experience, but it may be due to being thrown in the dishwasher. I do not know if you did so or not, but that is what ended my thermos in the end.

Never tried it without the lid, so I did. No problem with threads or unpleasant. I always use with lid but did replace plastic straw with stainless one.

Only the lip of the butter cup and the bottom on the water container are unglazed. I hope this helps. You can contact me direct if you have more questions: richardecameron@comcast.net
